Well got to remember that this is the concept version, also most Camaro's I have been in has always had a rough ride in them. I always remember them to have a bit of a stiffer suspension for a bit better handling then lets say a Cadillac.

Few show cars have good suspension setups. The roof is being raised by almost two inches, but the beltline may also see a marginal height increase as well.

I loved hearing that LS2 start, some Borla exhaust would complement it nicely
